Posted on 12/20/2017 by Doctor Schwei

Dental expert's advice to brush your teeth for a full two minutes to get the best out of your dental maintenance. But most often, people are unaware of how long they have brushed their teeth, which leads to a bigger problem in the long run.

Kids for instance find brushing their teeth boring or forced upon and making it interesting will help sustain their interest in keeping their teeth clean. Here are a number of effective and interesting ways to ensure you and your kids get a full two-minute experience with your teeth.

Dancing or Listening to Music Will Make Brushing Teeth More Fun

Being unaware of time will help you get the most of your time. Keeping yourself distracted from the mundane activity of brushing your teeth will prevent you from having to speed things up because you are finding the task tedious.

You can listen to your favorite song or entertain yourself by dancing to a popular music. The distraction will help ensure that you get the most time with your teeth and help prevent the boring feeling from seeping in.

Count the Mississippi's or Sing the ABC's

One good way of devoting two full minutes of your time without getting bored is to count the Mississippi´s or sing the ABCs while brushing. By counting the Mississippi´s two times, you get a full two minutes of your time and the singing the ABC's three times is long enough to make sure you get around the mark.

These are just some of the best strategies you can use to help you get the amount of time needed for your daily brushing routine. Not only will you keep a healthy glowing smile, but also prevent tooth problems from happening.
